Is your family new to the concept of Folderbooks? Folderbooks typically consist of mini-books, attached by tape or glue, to one or more 8.5 X 11 cardstock file folders. The making of these mini-books can be simple or complicated depending on the age and interest of the student. Folderbooks provide a meaningful and enjoyable way to help visual and kinesthetic learners grasp concepts. Graphic organizers present material in a different way than words alone. They help the brain to sort through and organize facts and concepts and tend to be easier to remember than straight prose.

Bright Ideas Press Folderbooks:

Enhance the information being taught. We don’t use Folderbooks for exact duplication of a lesson—but rather for a review and for a new and graphic look at the facts presented.

Ensure that the information needed for the mini-books can be taken right from The Mystery of History lessons.

Often allow flexibility to be turned sideways affording younger students more space for writing.

Provide quality artwork; attractive even if a student does not want to color it in.

Include—in addition to written directions—photographs of the steps and the finished product in order to fully demonstrate assembly.

Offer printed answer keys for younger students or those struggle with writing.

Interested in folderbooks but not sure you want to commit to a full year? Try the first quarter for only $8! The download comes with a coupon, so if your family loves them, you can purchase all four quarters without paying for the first quarter twice.

Why Folderbooks? Folderbooks provide a meaningful and enjoyable way to help visual and kinesthetic learners grasp concepts. Graphic organizers present material in a different way than words alone.
